If the marginal benefit of an activity is greater than marginal cost of an activety, then you are better off___
zloy xaker [14]

As long as the marginal benefits are higher than the marginal costs you are better off continuing the activity.

Consider the example of eating pizza. Each slice of pizza gives you happiness and helps fill you up (marginal benefit), but each slice also has lots of calories and fat (marginal cost). As long as you are still hungry and getting enjoyment from eating, you should keep eating. But once you reach the point where you are too full then you should stop, because the costs now outweigh the benefits.

A nation that has a comparative advantage in producing a good or service compared to
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Opportunity cost

Explanation:

A country is said to have a comparative advantage in producing a good, if it has a lower opportunity cost of producing that good in comparison to the other country. For instance if the opportunity cost of producing Wheat in U.S is 2. While that in China is 1. It shows that China has a comparative advantage in producing wheat as compared to the U.S.

So a nation that has a comparative advantage in producing a good or service compared to the other nation can produce that good or service with a lower opportunity cost.

Efficiency, Profit and Resource cost are not directly related to comparative advantage. Although efficiency can contribute towards lower opportunity cost but it is not a scale used for international trade.

Thus, lower opportunity cost is the best alternative.
